Floor Joist support in crawl space
Hello,
My partner and I are working on our first Flip. We are doing this one by the book so we have pulled all permits and scheduled with the borough to do the inspections. Since we put in new Plumbing and Electrical work we had someone come and inspect the rough ins. During this inspection they noticed a beam that we installed to open up the floor plan is bearing wait on the floor where there is not support in the basement. This part of the basement is just in the crawl space so it only has about a 2 foot gap. There is a old stone foundation that ends right before where we need the support. My question to anyone who can help is, what would be our best way of fixing this problem? Do we box out and continue the old stone foundation with concrete? Do we buy a small pipe jack? Is there any other way to fix a problem like this?
